Students build a four-wing paper boomerang. In this aeronautics lesson, students construct a paper boomerang and identify the forces at work during flight.

In this problem solving strategy worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer to help solve a problem. Students complete 4 sections: understand, plan, solve and look back. Houghton Mifflin text referenced.

Students calculate the volume of the Pantheon's columns and estimate changes in weight given different parameters.

Students investigate image and pre-image. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the reflection and rotation of different shape on a coordinate plane. They identify similarities and differences of image and pre-image of a...

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...

Third graders represent fractions as part of a whole. In this fractions lesson plan, 3rd graders use manipulatives to show how a fraction is a part of a whole. This lesson plan includes individual practice and an assessment instead of...

Pupils investigate the concepts relating to creating a tessellation. They include using pattern blocks in order to create interconnecting patterns. Students review translations, rotations, and reflections.

Students solve problems with triangles. In this geometry lesson, students analyze shapes to find different triangles. They name the shapes created by putting triangles together.

Students study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.

In this English worksheet, students read "Superstition Forces Airline Logo Change," and then respond to 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

Students cut out the pattern of the Four-Wing Boomerang and trace it on to one half of the file folder. They practice throwing it.

Young scholars recognize how parabolas are used in architecture and calculate a constant of variation.

Students interpret information and results in context while using words and symbols to generalize patterns. They use symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems and identifying invariant properties under...

Seventh graders produce a tessellation of an original design developed using an equilateral triangle, where three unique symmetrical faces rotate throughout their creation.

Students investigate the various uses of a paper cup. In this scientific inquiry instructional activity, students investigate various ways to use a paper cup by identifying its characteristics. Students sketch their discovery.

On this interactive site, students learn to identify squares, circles, and triangles.

Students work in groups to build their own kite. The activity explores estimation, geometry, measurement, and patterns. The resource consists of a lesson plan, group activity instructions, lesson overview, and an expert page.

How can you describe the pattern made by a growing triangular shape? This interactive exercise focuses on using what you know about pattern recognition and completing a table so you have data you can use to graph the coordinates on a...

In this lesson, students will identify 2- and 3-dimensional shapes as well as create shape drawings and sculptures. Teacher materials are available.

Based on building a hexagon, this activity from the Math Forum collection focuses on using different combinations of pattern blocks to create a hexagon. An online activity, pencil and paper method, literature connections, and a...

Four basic geometric shapes - the triangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, and hexagon - are examined to determine how many of one shape fits "inside" another. For instance, how many triangles are "in" a hexagon. Ten questions with solutions...

This two-part geometry lesson plan has students identify, describe, and classify two-dimensional shapes. Students engage in hands-on activities including identifying shapes in the classroom, creating patterns with shapes, identifying...

This hands-on instructional activity uses exploration and discovery to help students determine the coordinates of the vertices of various figures when translated, rotated, or reflected in a coordinate plane. The exploration phase will...
